Paragraph 8
8. Supports, therefore, the Commission’s intention to include service standards in the legal framework of European standardisation, as this will not only ensure the notification of all national service standards that could potentially constitute technical barriers to trade in the internal market, but also provide a proper legal basis on which the Commission can request the European standardisation organisations (ESOs) – namely CEN, CENELEC and the European Telecom Standards Institute (ETSI) – to develop standards in the services sector; stresses, at the same time, that moves towards new service standards should originate not with public authorities but with the relevant undertakings themselves, where such standards are actually needed by those undertakings;

Paragraph 16
16. Holds the view that these European organisations must obtain a stronger role within the ESOs; recommends that, without prejudice to the national delegation principle, all such organisations should be given a vote in the ESO technical bodies, on condition that they are associate members or cooperating partners of the ESOs and have participated in the respective work item at technical level; considers also that such organisations should, under the same conditions, be given a symbolic vote in the formal adoption of standards, which would not necessarily be counted in the voting result but would serve as an indicator of the level of support for a given standard among all stakeholdersshould be given a symbolic vote in the formal adoption of standards, which would not necessarily be counted in the voting result but would serve as an indicator of the level of support for a given standard among all stakeholders, on condition that they are associate members or cooperating partners of the ESOs and have participated in the respective work item at technical level;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 28
Paragraph 28
28. Recognises that fora and consortia contribute considerably to the standardisation system by providing specifications with global relevance, which are often more receptive to innovative technologies; points out that, most notably in the ICT sector, a number of fora and consortia have evolved into global organisations producing widely implemented specifications on the basis of open, transparent and consensus-based development processes; believes that the ESOs and fora/consortia must find ways of cooperating in planning their activities by transferring standards to the most appropriate level, international or European, in order to ensure coherence and avoid fragmentation or duplication; calls on the ESOs to develop and implement an improved mechanism for the adoption of fora/consortia specifications as European standards, whichereby consensus on the part of all stakeholders must be guaranteed through the established procedures for consulting all parties concerned in accordance with the national delegation principle; stresses that this should not restrict the possibility of submitting themfora/consortia specifications directly to international standards organisations in order to seek more global status;
